Entamoeba histolytica infects nearly 50 million people each year and kills around 70,000. It’s a shape-shifting parasite that invades the human gut, often causing mild symptoms like diarrhea. But in ...

The single-celled parasite Entamoeba histolytica infects 50 million people each year, killing nearly 70,000. Usually, this wily, shape-shifting amoeba causes nothing worse than diarrhea. But sometimes ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Medical records, for 2000 and 2001, of symptomatic amoebic patients who were treated at our hospitals in Tokyo, Yokohama and Osaka were ...

The mechanisms whereby certain mouse strains develop persistent intestinal infection with Entamoeba histolytica remain unclear. In this work, we characterized the kinetic pattern of cytokine responses ...

The pathogenesis of a potentially fatal amoeba, Entamoeba histolytica (E. histolytica), has been discovered, showing that the organism uses a process coined as trogocytosis, to nibble sections of a ...
